堡盟相机支持Mono8、Mono12、BGR8等多种像素格式（PixelFormat）——每种格式需对应相应的OpenCV格式。与堡盟相机像素格式对应的OpenCV矩阵类型如下表所示。
从如下示例可以看出，可直接处理像素格式的图像，无需转换，非常简单。
示例：Mono8
pDevice->GetRemoteNode("PixelFormat")->SetString("Mono8"); BGAPI2::Buffer * pBufferFilled = pDataStream->GetFilledBuffer(1000); if (pBufferFilled->GetPixelFormat() == "Mono8") { cv::Mat* imOriginal = new cv::Mat((int)pBufferFilled->GetHeight(), (int)pBufferFilled->GetWidth(), CV_8UC1, (char *)pBufferFilled->GetMemPtr(); cv::imwrite("cv_Mono8_image.png", *imOriginal); delete imOriginal; } pBufferFilled->QueueBuffer();
示例：BGR8
OpenCV中标准的颜色像素格式为BGR，每个颜色通道为8位（CV_8UC3）。相机中与之对应的像素格式设为BGR8（也可以设为BGR8Packed）。
pDevice->GetRemoteNode("PixelFormat")->SetString("BGR8"); BGAPI2::Buffer * pBufferFilled = pDataStream->GetFilledBuffer(1000); if ((pBufferFilled->GetPixelFormat() == "BGR8") || (pBufferFilled->GetPixelFormat() == "BGR8Packed")) { cv::Mat* imOriginal = new cv::Mat((int)pBufferFilled->GetHeight(), (int)pBufferFilled->GetWidth(), CV_8UC3, (char *)pBufferFilled->GetMemPtr(); cv::imwrite("cv_BGR8_image.png", *imOriginal); delete imOriginal; } pBufferFilled->QueueBuffer();
将像素格式转换为16位OpenCV矩阵
某些相机支持12位像素格式（Mono12、RGB12）。将数据储存在16位OpenCV矩阵类型中会导致输出图像比预期暗很多。为了将12位像素格式转换成16位OpenCV矩阵，堡盟GAPI缓冲区中的数据需要通过OpenCV ConvertTo()函数平移4位（或乘以16）。
同样地，Mono10等10位像素格式可以通过将数据平移2位（或乘以64）进行转换。
警告：由于一个指针刚被传输到堡盟GAPI缓冲区的数据中，初始数据已经被更改。
pDevice->GetRemoteNode("PixelFormat")->SetString("Mono12"); BGAPI2::Buffer * pBufferFilled = pDataStream->GetFilledBuffer(1000); if (pBufferFilled->GetPixelFormat() == "Mono12") { cv::Mat* imOriginal = new cv::Mat((int)pBufferFilled->GetHeight(), (int)pBufferFilled->GetWidth(), CV_16UC1, (char *)pBufferFilled->GetMemPtr(); imOriginal.ConvertTo(imOriginal, Emgu.CV.CvEnum.DepthType.Cv16U, 64.0); cv::imwrite("cv_Mono12_as_Mono16_image.png", *imOriginal); delete imOriginal; } pBufferFilled->QueueBuffer();
